Hello Forum, I wonder if anyof you will be able to shed some light on this fault
I Have a VGN-S2XP, its worked perfectly until last week, yeah 6 months after the warranty expired! I had a plasma screen plugged into the screen output and it was all fine until i got a graphics error message and the desktop shrunk and to the minum 8 bit 16 colours!
I rebooted and it was the same.
It worked perfectly ok in safe mode although with not full graphic resolution, so i thought it must be a software issue and decided to back up all my data on a remote drive and run the recovery software from the hard drive, well it started and then I got a blue screen of death!
Now I cannot boot it into anything I just get a blue screen up. When the vaio word comes up on boot i press F10 and nothing happens, it just asks me if I want to start windows in safemode, of course it crashes soon after as it states that i need to run set up again.
Confusing or what
Do i have a graphics card problem?
a cable to monitor problem
I obviously now have a boot problem! and Sony do not give you disks so i do not know what to do next.
Cheers in advance for any suggestions
Ian
